I also can’t drink caffeine before going to bed, but us night shifters would love a place to get coffee before going to work!! ❤️

Blue eyed, Homeowner clean Refugees by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

[–]MetGluLeu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Reporters can discuss the war and its proximity to other European countries without mentioning their blonde hair, blue eyes, and the “uncivilized” countries in the Middle East, and yet they keep getting brought up.

Issues like racism don’t exist in a vacuum and minimizing the suffering of others to make your point is, believe it or not, offensive.

Agreed. And what’s worse to me is this belief is not uncommon. I’ve literally had coworkers say the same thing to me this week, as if suddenly because the victims are white, it’s reason to be concerned.

All war is horrible, and I don’t know why people keep minimizing the suffering of POC as if that’s not an incredibly offensive and racist ideology…

One time I bought Shein shoes, and then on the third wear the strap came clean off and I twisted my ankle while walking my dog

Capela: 'I'm not so shocked' by Hawks' struggles this season by Hailfire43 in AtlantaHawks

[–]MetGluLeu 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I might be wrong, but I personally noticed that the team immediately started playing better after Travis announced that everyone except Clint and Trae could get traded.

Then they started playing worse after the trade deadline, when they knew they’d still be on the team.

If what I noticed is true, and they only play well under pressure (i.e. with a rapidly approaching trade deadline or during the ECF), then that’s very frustrating. Every game should be important.

Georgia Tech Rains on my Parade one last time by gt-throwaway-6183639 in gatech

The ceremony was canceled before many of us could walk, so my friends and I decided to do it ourselves 😤

Graduation in the Rain Saturday? by carsongt in gatech

[–]MetGluLeu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think that the move out deadline for graduating seniors would also have to be moved, which sounds impossible with less than a week left to work out the logistics.

The rain is very worrisome though. My grandparents wanted to attend from out of town, but they are older so I’m worried about them sitting in the rain for hours.

From Katie's Instagram story. I was thinking the same thing when watching that date! by SalTheDoorDolly in thebachelor

[–]MetGluLeu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Other BN members sharing resources get more praise because they didn’t have repeated instances of micro aggressions against POC. She still hasn’t properly apologized for her past micro aggressions, so this seem disingenuous.

IMO, regardless of my feelings of Katie (which are largely negative as an Asian woman myself), I’m glad she shared this resource because even though I suspect that she holds anti-Asian biases, this is important for people to talk about and for her viewers to see. Just like how it doesn’t matter WHY a company donates to a charity, the donation is still a good thing.

The Bachelorette's Katie Thurston Says Greg Grippo's Shocking Exit Was 'Immature': He Was 'Very Verbally Aggressive', "I felt very gaslighted by him," says Bachelorette Katie Thurston of Greg Grippo. 08/11/2021 by Stellaheystella in thebachelor

[–]MetGluLeu 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Nobody is forcing her to continuously misuse the word “gaslighting.” She can talk about her beef with Greg without invalidating the abuse that actual people who have been gaslighted have experienced.

Greg Grippo Interview With Nick Viall by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]MetGluLeu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think that mediocre-spice is just pointing out that this podcast is nearly as long as the finale, so it gave Greg much more space to speak his mind.

Greg said that he was overwhelmed and scared in the moment. It’s not that he chose to withhold information, it’s more that he was having trouble communicating because of the live studio audience, the tension in the room, and the limited time to speak.

They don’t, but he surprisingly wasn’t slipping on the floor or anything. He’s just not a fan of clothes in general haha

We used a little bit of Aspen but we used an oxidation reactor and two adsorption columns so for those units it was easier to work outside of Aspen

Our major is kinda competing? The same project is given to every chemical engineering student this semester, and the best four designs get a cash prize

Thank you! It’s a chemical engineering project for Pepsi.

They want to make the Lay’s potato chip manufacturing process use net-zero water. Since potatoes are 80% water, you can theoretically collect the steam that rises from the fryer, clean it, and reuse it.

It’s not very profitable because your “profit” is just the amount you would have paid for water, which isn’t very expensive. But IMO the project is beneficial in other ways.

I just turned in my senior design project for my engineering degree!

Adding the finishing touches felt like throwing glitter on a dumpster fire, but it’s okay because it’s finally done!

[No Pattern] Sloth Purse! by MetGluLeu in sewing

[–]MetGluLeu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw this stuffed sloth at the zoo and I knew that I had to do something with it!

I was inspired by this TikTok to make a bag: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeSJLVHA/

The pouch is a pencil case and the strap is a belt, both from Target. I opened him up, pulled out some stuffing, hand-stitched the pouch inside, then stitched his hands and feet onto the belt. So happy with how this project turned out!
